After the glass is broken, a lot of sharp glass fragments will be generated. After working for a long time, workers are prone to fatigue, resulting in reduced work efficiency. In addition, the process of manually breaking glass is also prone to danger, causing personal injury to the workers, and the safety is not high. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to overcome the defects of the prior art and provide an optical glass block breaking machine.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0028] In the drawings, the same reference numerals all refer to the same components.

[0029] like Figure 1-8As shown, the present invention provides an optical glass block breaking machine, comprising a machine platform 1, a gantry assembly 2, a breaking blade 3 for breaking the glass block, and a slide assembly 4. The gantry assembly 2 includes a transverse module 10 and a longitudinal module 20. The slide assembly 4 includes an elastic base plate 5 for securing the optical glass block, a slide module 30 for driving the elastic base plate 5, and a top block 6. The present invention achieves breaking of the glass block by combining the breaking blade 3 with the top block 6 on the elastic base plate 5. The cushioning effect of the elastic base plate 5 effectively prevents cracks in other areas of the glass during breaking, thereby protecting the glass block.

[0030] In this embodiment, the bottom of the gantry assembly 2 is fixed above the machine table 1 by a threaded connection and is arranged perpendicular to the machine table 1; the bottom end of the slide assembly 4 is horizontally fixed to the upper surface of the machine table 1, and the slide assembly 4 is symmetrically arranged along the center of the gantry assembly 2; the bottom of the transverse module 10 is fixed to both ends of the machine table 1 by a threaded connection; the longitudinal bottom plate 21 in the longitudinal module 20 is fixedly connected to the transverse lead screw 14 in the transverse module 10 by a threaded connection; the side of the breaking knife 3 is fixed to the fixed plate on the side of the longitudinal module 20 by a threaded connection; the top block 6 is arranged in the middle of the elastic bottom plate 5, and the top arc top of the top block 6 is flush with the plane of the elastic bottom plate 5; two fixing plates for fixing the glass block are also provided above the elastic bottom plate 5. The two fixing plates are placed parallel and perpendicular to the surface of the elastic bottom plate 5. The function of the elastic bottom plate 5 is to raise the glass block and to cushion its bottom when the glass block breaks, so as to avoid direct collision and damage between the broken glass block and the slide bottom plate 33.

[0031] The usage of this utility model is as follows:

[0032] 1. Place the glass block on the elastic base plate 5 so that the engraved line on the glass block is aligned with the center line of the top block 6. After placement, activate the button on the control switch 9 and adjust the horizontal module 10 to center the glass block along both sides of the elastic base plate 5. Then move the slide module 30 and adjust the horizontal position of the glass block so that the engraved line on the glass block is aligned with the blade of the cutting knife.

[0033] 2. Press the button on the control switch 9 to start the longitudinal module 20 to move downward. During the downward movement of the longitudinal module 20, the pressure-breaking knife 3 is driven to move downward slowly. The elastic bottom plate 5 pre-presses the glass block. Under the elastic force of the elastic bottom plate 5, the glass blocks on both sides of the scored line are subjected to equal force. As the longitudinal module 20 continues to move downward, the pressure of the cutting knife 3 on the scored position of the glass block increases, and the glass block is gradually broken from the scored line, so that the edge of the glass block will not be damaged when it breaks.

[0034] 3. After the glass block is crushed, the staff uses a brush to sweep the glass fragments on the elastic bottom plate 5 into the chip discharge groove 7. The glass fragments gather in the through hole 8 and fall onto the table of the machine 1 under the action of their own gravity. They are then swept into the recycling basket. In this way, the glass fragments are cleaned up and the problem of glass fragments piercing hands is avoided.

[0035] Further, such as Figure 5 As shown, the transverse module 10 includes two side plates 11 , a transverse bottom plate 12 , two transverse guide rails 13 , a transverse lead screw 14 and a transverse motor 15 for driving the transverse module 10 . In this embodiment, the bottom ends of the two side plates 11 are fastened to the upper surface of the machine 1 by threaded connections; the transverse bottom plate 12 is fixed to the middle of the two side plates 11 by welding, and the two side plates 11 are symmetrically arranged relative to the transverse bottom plate 12; the bottoms of the two transverse guide rails 13 are fixed to one side of the transverse bottom plate 12 by multiple bolts, and both transverse guide rails 13 are provided with slides, the tops of the slides are fastened to the longitudinal bottom plate 21 by threads, for driving the longitudinal bottom plate 21 to move horizontally along the transverse guide rails 13; the transverse screw 14 is arranged in the middle of the two transverse guide rails 13, and the slide of the transverse screw 14 is fixed to the longitudinal bottom plate 21 by threads, for driving the longitudinal bottom plate 21 to move; the output shaft of the transverse motor 15 is fixedly connected to the end of the transverse screw 14 by a coupling, for driving the transverse screw 14 to rotate, and the bottom of the transverse motor 15 is fixed to the side of a side plate 11 by threaded connection. In this way, the rotation of the transverse motor 15 is controlled to drive the transverse lead screw 14 to move, thereby driving the longitudinal base plate 21 to move horizontally.

[0036] Furthermore, the transverse module 10 and the machine platform 1 are connected to form a gate-shaped gantry structure. In this embodiment, the two side panels 11 of the transverse module 10, the transverse bottom plate 12, and the machine platform 4 form a gantry structure. This structure is simple and stable, and the elastic bottom plate 5 is located at the center of the gantry. When the crushing blade and the glass block are displaced, the operation is simple and efficient.

[0037] Further, such as Figure 5As shown, the longitudinal module 20 includes a longitudinal base plate 21, two longitudinal guide rails 22, a longitudinal lead screw 23, and a longitudinal motor 24 for driving the longitudinal module 20 to move vertically. In this embodiment, the bottom of the longitudinal base plate 21 is fixed to the slide of the transverse lead screw 14 via a threaded connection; the two longitudinal guide rails 22 are fixed to the ends of the longitudinal base plate 21 via an L-shaped base. The two longitudinal guide rails 22 are vertically arranged to guide the longitudinal module 20 during its up and down movement; the longitudinal lead screw 23 is arranged between the two longitudinal guide rails 22, the lower end of the longitudinal lead screw 23 is fixed to the side of the longitudinal base plate 21 via a bearing seat, and the upper end of the longitudinal lead screw 23 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the longitudinal motor 24 via a coupling. The mounting plate of the cutting blade 3 is fixedly connected to the slide of the longitudinal lead screw 23. When the longitudinal motor 24 rotates, it drives the longitudinal lead screw 23 to rotate, thereby driving the mounting plate to move up and down. In this way, the up and down movement of the cutting blade 3 is achieved through the rotation of the longitudinal motor 24.

[0038] Further, such as Figure 3-4 As shown, the slide module 30 includes two slide rails 31, a slide screw 32, a slide base plate 33, and a slide motor 34 for driving the slide module 30. The slide base plate 33 is used to fix the elastic base plate 5. In this embodiment, the two slide rails 31 are arranged parallel to each other above the machine 1. The bottom of the slide rails 31 is fixed to the upper surface of the machine 1 by a threaded connection. The slide rails 31 include four sliders. The four sliders are connected to the bottom surface of the slide base plate 33 by bolts to guide the movement of the slide base plate 33. The slide screw 32 is arranged between the two slide rails 31. One end of the slide screw 32 is connected to the output end of the slide motor 34 through a coupling, and the other end of the slide screw 32 is connected to the output end of the slide motor 34 through a bearing seat. Fixed to the upper surface of the machine 1, the slide seat of the slide screw 32 is threadedly connected to the slide base plate 33, which is used to drive the slide base plate 33 to move horizontally; the upper surface of the slide base plate 33 is threadedly connected to the lower end surface of the elastic base plate 5, which is used to drive the movement of the elastic base plate 5; the base of the slide motor 34 is fixed to the side of the machine 1 through a threaded connection, so that the slide screw 32 can be driven to rotate by the slide motor 34, thereby driving the slide base plate 33 to move horizontally, realizing the horizontal movement of the elastic base plate 5.

[0039] Further, such as Figure 7-8 As shown, chip grooves 7 are formed on both sides of the top block 6, corresponding to the middle portion of the elastic base plate 5. In this embodiment, a number of evenly distributed through-holes 8 are provided within the chip grooves 7 along the groove direction to discharge glass debris. The top of the top block 6 is on the same horizontal plane as the upper surface of the elastic base plate 5. The top portion of the top block 6 is semicircular, and the bottom of the top block 6 is fixed to the chip groove 7 to support the glass block. The interior of the chip groove 7 is sloped toward the top block 6 to facilitate the collection of glass debris on the elastic base plate 5 toward the chip groove 7.

[0040] Furthermore, the present invention includes a control switch 9 fixed to the side wall of the machine 1. In this embodiment, the side of the control switch 9 is fixed to the side of the machine 1 via a threaded connection. The control switch is electrically connected to the transverse module 10 and the longitudinal module 20 on the gantry assembly 2, and the slide assembly 4 on the machine 1. In this way, when it is necessary to perform a crushing operation on the glass block, by operating the button on the control switch 9, the position of the transverse module 10, the longitudinal module 20, and the slide assembly 4 can be controlled to achieve the automatic crushing operation on the glass block.

[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art will be able to modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or replace some of the technical features therein with equivalents.
